In the last presidential election, we copied Nigeria’s idea! This is something that would have never happened in America previous to the integration of social media leaking information globally. Social integration is now at it’s largest scale in human history, and it’s changing everything!
All media is digitized, not only does this make it easier for the consumer to get the media, but also allows for the consumers to become producers.
Twitter is now seen as one of the fastest news sources. I write this as I have my live feed twitter sitting on the side of my iMac’s desktop. Feeding me information from friends, favorite TRUSTABLE news sources, entertainment sources, and tons of advertising resources/agency news. @kimballcs22
The Great Firewall of China provides for a scary scene and makes me feel a slight amount of worry that our “democracy” might end up going in this same direction, but I have hope in humanity! www.thezeitgeistmovement.com
The ability of the audience to talk to each other now forces the source to become more accountable for it’s actions. This is one of the most positive reasons to keep the Internet open to its fullest extent. Because we live in an age of corrupt political power that if we were to rely on the mass media sources alone, we’d end up with a whole hell of a lot of American’s being misinformed as to why we were going to war with a country.

Well, we’re working on it anyways.
How can we make best use of this media? Keep it as open as our minds are. Keep the public truly free. I think that we will begin to see a change in intelligence of humanity with the freedom to information that we have. The importance of safeguarding the Internet’s openness should be the main topic of concern on everyone’s mind. Or else...
